This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Yeah i agreed... Please solve this

I tell you question put up by you is not too hard but way too lengthy. Anyway here's the solution.

$I=\int { \frac { dx }{ { x }^{ 3 }+{ x }^{ 8 } } } =\int { \frac { dx }{ { x }^{ 3 }(1+{ x }^{ 5 }) } } =\int { \frac { dx }{ { x }^{ 3 } } } -\int { \frac { { x }^{ 2 }dx }{ 1+{ x }^{ 5 } } }$

Now we can write : ${x}^{5}+1=(x+1)({x}^{2}+2xcos(\frac{2\pi}{5})+1)({x}^{2}-2xcos(\frac{\pi}{5})+1)$

Hence our $I$ becomes :

$I=\frac{-2}{{x}^{2}}-{I}_{1}$

${I}_{1}=\int { \frac { { x }^{ 2 }dx }{(x+1)({x}^{2}+2xcos(\frac{2\pi}{5})+1)({x}^{2}-2xcos(\frac{\pi}{5})+1) } }$

after some tedious applications of partial fractions we get :

${ I }_{ 1 }=\frac { 1 }{ 5 } (\frac { 1 }{ x+1 } +(\frac { 1}{ 2cos(\frac { \pi }{ 5 } ) } )(\frac { x+1 }{ { x }^{ 2 }-2xcos(\frac { \pi }{ 5 } )+1 } )-(\frac { 1 }{ 2cos(\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } ) } )(\frac { x+1 }{ { x }^{ 2 }+2xcos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } +1 } ))$

$\Rightarrow { I }_{ 1 }=\frac { 1 }{ 5 } log(x+1)+\frac { 1 }{ 10cos(\frac { \pi }{ 5 } ) } { J }_{ 1 }-\frac { 1 }{ 10cos(\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } ) } { J }_{ 2 }$

${ J }_{ 1 }=\int { \frac { (x+1)dx }{ ({ x }^{ 2 }-2xcos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } +1) } } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } (\int { \frac { 2x-2cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } }{ { x }^{ 2 }-2xcos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } +1 } dx } )+(1+cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } )\int { \frac { dx }{ { ( x -cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } ) }^{ 2 }+{ (sin\frac { \pi }{ 5 } })^{ 2 } } }$

In the expression for ${J}_{1}$ in the first integral put $({ x }^{ 2 }-2xcos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } +1)=t$ and solve and the second integral can be solved putting $(x -cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } )=tan(t)sin(\frac{\pi}{5})$ and solve to get :

${J}_{1}=\frac{1}{2}ln({ x }^{ 2 }-2xcos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } +1)+(\frac { 1+cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } }{ sin\frac { \pi }{ 5 } } ){ tan }^{ -1 }(\frac { x-cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } }{ sin\frac { \pi }{ 5 } } )$

Similarly ${ J }_{ 2 }=\int { \frac { (x+1)dx }{ ({ x }^{ 2 }+2xcos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } +1) } } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } (\int { \frac { 2x+2cos\frac {2 \pi }{ 5 } }{ { x }^{ 2 }+2xcos\frac {2\pi }{ 5 } +1 } dx } )+(1-cos\frac {2\pi }{ 5 } )\int { \frac { dx }{ { ( x +cos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } ) }^{ 2 }+{ (sin\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } })^{ 2 } } }$

Solving it similarly we get :

${J}_{2}=\frac{1}{2}ln({ x }^{ 2 }+2xcos\frac {2\pi }{ 5 } +1)+(\frac { 1-cos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } }{ sin\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } } ){ tan }^{ -1 }(\frac { x+cos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } }{ sin\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } } )$

Putting back all the values we get I as :

$I=\frac { -2 }{ { x }^{ 2 } } -\frac { 1 }{ 5 } log(x+1)-\frac { 1 }{ 20cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } } ln({ x }^{ 2 }-2xcos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } +1)+\frac { 1 }{ 20cos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } } ln({ x }^{ 2 }+2xcos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } +1)-\frac { 1+cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } }{ 10sin\frac { \pi }{ 5 } cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } } { tan }^{ -1 }(\frac { x-cos\frac { \pi }{ 5 } }{ sin\frac { \pi }{ 5 } } )\\+\frac { 1-cos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } }{ 10sin\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } cos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } } { tan }^{ -1 }(\frac { x+cos\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } }{ sin\frac { 2\pi }{ 5 } } )$

Very much complicated bro :D Anyways nice solution

Kïñshük Sïñgh - 6 years, 9 months ago

Such integrals are always complicated.

@Ronak Agarwal – Yeah u r rite

Kïñshük Sïñgh - 6 years, 9 months ago

Awesome Solution...But can't it get shorter, bro?

Tushar Gopalka - 6 years, 9 months ago

There's no way to get it shorter.
